Parenting at a Distance

Bringing Up Britain

Available for over a year

Mariella Frostrup and guests focus on the challenge of long-distance parenting. Many parents do not see their children on a daily basis - on account of divorce or separation, or perhaps the pressures of working away from home or the demands of military deployment, or because the children attend a boarding school. So how do parents attempt to bridge the gap - and how much influence can they have? Producer Emma Kingsley.
